Illumination and Liberation

Moon peaking among branches
Coffee House Writers / Aviva Derenowski

I meditate

Letting go of aspirations,

Letting in what is

Under self-restricting views,

Monitoring News.

I’m slowly dissolving.

Not quitting, not doubting,

Attention to breathing

Towards Present.

In and out, in and out,

On the way to Liberation.

Neither this nor that – with you.

 

Love what is,

Immediate and fulfilling,

But never take for granted.

Eternity is present.

Return to the moment,

Allow sensations to surface

Till I dissolve.

I disappear

Only to resurface in the

Now.
